Acclaimed filmmaker and producer Ryan Coogler is expanding his partnership with Netflix through a new multi-year television overall deal between his production company, Proximity Media, and the streaming giant.
According to reports, the agreement comes after the expiration of Proximity Media’s previous five-year television deal with Disney. Under the new arrangement, Proximity Media will develop and produce television projects exclusively for Netflix, marking a significant new chapter for the company founded by Ryan Coogler, his wife and producing partner Zinzi Coogler, and producer Sev Ohanian.
The deal focuses specifically on television programming, while Proximity Media will continue to pursue feature film projects on a project-by-project basis with various studios. The company has built a strong reputation in Hollywood through its work on critically acclaimed films and television productions, including projects connected to the Marvel universe and the blockbuster success of Sinners.
Coogler, best known for directing Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Marvel’s Black Panther franchise, has become one of the most influential storytellers in entertainment. His production company has steadily expanded its reach since its founding in 2018, producing content across film, television, documentaries, podcasts, and music.
The Netflix agreement signals the streamer’s continued investment in high-profile creators as it seeks to strengthen its original television slate. While specific projects under the new partnership have not yet been announced, the collaboration is expected to bring new scripted and unscripted content from the award-winning production banner to Netflix audiences worldwide.
The move represents one of the most significant television overall deals of the year and positions Proximity Media to further expand its creative footprint across the global streaming landscape. With Coogler’s track record of delivering culturally impactful and commercially successful projects, industry observers will be watching closely to see what the company develops next under its Netflix banner.
